drop when motor is loaded) - Stator connected in Star instead of
delta. - One motor terminal was by mistake
connected to neutral instead of phase
a)Unequal phase resistance - Open circuit - Or inter turn short circuit on rotor b) Short circuit between turn to turns
or parts of stator winding - Multiple winding to frame short
circuit (earth fault)
-System frequency too high -Excessive core loss -Single phasing i.e O.C. in stator winding or supply cable -Stator winding is incorrectly connected i.e. in star instead of delta -Motor was incorrectly selected for type of duty involved. e.g selecting short time or intermittent duty instead of continuous duty at full load -Inadequate ventilation (i.e cooling system) -Air flow obstructed -Thermal overload protection incorrectly rated or adjusted.
